1953? Schwinn

[ratfink1962]

I'll be picking this up next weekend, from the serial number it appears to be built in February 1953.

Any idea what model it is? What's wrong and what's right? Sorry... this is the only pics I have until I go pick it up.

Am I seeing chain adjusters in the rear dropouts? I'm not that familiar with Schwinn but arent those usually found on older bicycles?

That's not a 1953. Pre war frame, 40-41.

41

Yep, 41, thanks for the PM's last night!

Oh.. a 41, sweet!
I just plugged the serial number in and it came back saying it was a 2/25/1953

I'm not familiar with Schwinn at all when it comes to dating.

Thanks!
